The reason why the U.S. will continue to have sustained transmission of measles is that we no longer vaccinate a sufficient number of children.  Only 10 states have an MMR vaccination rate for kindergartners >95% which is necessary for herd immunity.

This is a reckless, accountability-dodging move that puts politics over public health.

I’ve seen the unspeakable cruelty of Secretary Noem and the Trump Administration in Chicago and across the country.

We’ve all seen it.

They are waging a campaign of fear and eroding trust in law enforcement and government.

That’s dangerous.
